One of my recent discoveries was that you can pop popcorn at home in the microwave without a bought popcorn bag. You can use a microwave safe bowl and lid with air vents but I've found a roasting bag with a few air holes works a treat. You can do this without any oil but the coconut oil gives a nice additional flavour to the popcorn.

(makes about three cups of popcorn)
(makes about three cups of popcorn)
- If using coconut oil, place about a tsp in a roasting bag, add 1/4 cup popcorn.
- Seal bag and cut a few small holes.
- Microwave on high for about 4 mins. As per usual with microwave popcorn listen carefully to when the popping slows down and stop the microwave.
For watching a movie on a rainy sunday, I opted for sweet popcorn and covered mine with a sprinkle of salt, a dash of cinnamon and approx 1tbsp maple syrup. Toss to mix topping through and eat before it gets cold! Warning slightly sticky but very addictive.
